If the transmission was overhauled and the vehicle was not equipped with a transmission fluid in-line filter, install a new transmission fluid in-line
filter kit.
-
If the transmission is being installed for a non-internal repair, do not install a transmission fluid in-line filter or filter kit.

If installing a new or a Ford-authorized remanufactured transmission, install a transmission fluid in-line filter.
1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to Vehicle Jacking and Lifting.
2. If equipped, remove the bolts and the skid plate.
3. NOTICE: The transmission fluid in-line filter has a bypass valve in it. The arrow on the transmission fluid in-line filter indicates the
direction of transmission fluid flow through the transmission fluid in-line filter. The transmission fluid in-line filter must be installed in
the transmission fluid cooler return tube with the arrow on the transmission fluid in-line filter pointing away from the transmission fluid
cooler and toward the transmission (the return tube has transmission fluid coming out of the cooler going to the transmission). If the
transmission fluid in-line filter is not installed correctly, it will cause internal transmission damage.
Remove the section of the rubber hose and transmission fluid cooler return tube as illustrated.
-
Clean and de-burr the end of the transmission fluid cooler return tube.
4. NOTE: Be sure the transmission fluid cooler return tube is fully seated in the body of the fitting before final tightening of the ferrule nut.
Install the tubing ferrule hose assembly connector onto the end of the transmission fluid cooler return tube. Finger-tighten the ferrule nut, then
tighten the nut an additional one and one-half turns to seat the ferrule in the connector.
5. NOTICE: Do not install any rubber hoses or transmission fluid cooler tubing with a bend entering the filter greater than 60 degrees.
Using a suitable length of hose, install the transmission fluid in-line filter. Tighten the hose clamps.
6. Clean a section of the transmission fluid pan and install the sticker.
7. If equipped, install the skid plate and the bolts.
